    Lookout
    Lookout is excellent for mobile device security. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a simple solution to guarantee peace of mind when keeping mobile devices secure. It's also excellent for finding a device that's been lost remotely, including an excellent feature for enabling audio on a device when it was put in silent mode locally. The web UI is easy to use and allows for powerful functionality through a simple interface. Lastly, it is an excellent secondary backup solution. I'd recommend having other potential backup solutions as well in case this premium feature ever expires and you aren't sure whether you have a most recent contact backup within Lookout.

    Our Mobile Endpoints were a big challenge for us, and after Sophos Mobile implementation, we have received all our official hand-held devices in a managed environment with a very effective manners, and now we are able to manage all the devices with defined Company Policy along with our rules and regulations.

    Pros
    Lookout
    • It emits alerts before any vulnerability found, thus avoiding damages.
    • It has a very simple interface so it is easy to use.
    • It allows the protection against vulnerabilities as well as the backup of information and search before the loss of the mobile or theft.
    • It runs in the background so it does not interrupt any activity.
    • Its access is very flexible since only the internet is required to access through the application or web.

    Cons
    Lookout
    • They're the global, mobile cyber experts we trust. They're ahead of the curve already. All I could suggest is, keep going in that direction.
    • Perhaps, send out an occasional , brief update on global trends that business executives should be aware of, even when Lookout is already on it.
    • Keep it brief, with a case study where a proactive action was taken and an event was avoided. Those would be shared enterprise-wide.
    • More PR about your proactive actions would be educational for us all. NO FUD, will ever work, but seeing that there are actions we can take, even to the newest of threats will be very effective.

    • The platform was developed many years ago, a fresher look (even for the cloud-based console) would be appreciated.
    • The ability to control mail platforms other than MS Exchange.
    • The ability to control more features on iOS (knowing how the iOS Platform is at the moment).

    The overall usability of the Sophos Mobile is fantastic, and we were able to deploy entire solutions within the stipulated timeline. The management perspective is also up to the mark, and the completely user-friendly GUI to understand and manage what we need. Adding different types of Endpoints into the Central Console was also very useful, with deep insights into the Policy and endpoint protection.

    Lookout
    Lookout was chosen by T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T which many employees have chosen as their mobile network provider. From that standpoint, it made it a simple decision. Its cloud based technology gives insight across almost all mobile code in the world. Lookout identifies connections that would otherwise go unseen without deep investigation. It helps prevent cybercriminals from sneaking into mobile devices and that's the key component for any mobile security solution. MobileIron and other competitor solutions have a similar offering, but based on network provider support I haven't need to look into the competition extensively.

    Personally, haven't seen any other MDM on the market, but I feel since Sophos is greatly known to have easy to use products, that the others may not be as easy to use as Sophos Mobile Control. One of the key factors for organizations to choose Sophos Mobile Control and Security is because the Android OS (most attacked OS on the planet) is protected with award-winning antivirus and anti malware from Sophos. We have seen as advisors, how unprotected customers, get huge telecom bills because of the lack of security, since they think that an Android OS is healthy enough... big mistake. One simple thing I always tell friends, family and customers, protect your Android device with Sophos Security (it's free for home users).

    Return on Investment
    Lookout
    • Security is often hard to translate into ROI terms. However, having an option to locate a device does mitigate a possible large expense in fines or other issues with loss of data.
    • Minimal cost/support needs, does not significantly impact support staff. So can add support without additional costs.
